cmooonnnnn barry or boxxl.
One of you fuckers better not let Ultimist's poverty logo win

You know, I've had just about enough with the insults from various people, about my logo.

I was good enough yesterday to try to strike a deal with the front-runners to give some of the lesser-seen entrants a better shot at winning. The 2 front runners were kind enough to enter into a dialogue with me about that matter, but we weren't able to hammer out a plan. But still, at least they were decent with me and we tried to work something out... so my hat goes off to both of them.

I have tried my best, from time to time, to show that I actually give a shit about Quark and its future. I have repeatedly bent over and taken it up the wazoo for being too kind, too fair-minded, for letting people walk all over me in my life because I will give and give until I have just about nothing left. I've dealt with that all my life. I know who I am and what I'm about.

But I'm not going to take unfair and totally unnecessary insults or degradation from anonymous internet users who get some kind of cheap thrill out of throwing insults as if they don't affect REAL people. Some of you have quite a bit of growing up to do.

It's fine if you want to support your favorite in a post to encourage them, but it really is petty and childish to drag someone else's name through the mud in the process. Are we adults here, or are we in grade school?

All that said, I have decided to start campaigning again. I've tried to be reasonable, and some have responded in kind... but I'm tired of people slagging off my work as if it is utter crap, which it is not. It may not be the strongest, in certain people's minds, but I've gotten votes. That tells me that at least some people actually like my work.

Everyone has a different opinion about what makes good art. There is impressionism, which to me looks like random paint splatter. Yet collectors often pay thousands or even millions of dollars for such works. So everyone's taste is different. If my logo happens to suit particular tastes, but not yours, so be it. You're not the only person on earth with an opinion.

You don't see me in here insulting people or degrading their work. I could do it just as easily as some of you others have.

If I do happen to win, I've already got a few things in mind that may help promote Quark. My sister's husband in Philadelphia works for a major TV network affiliate over there.

So you can rest assured that if I win through my campaigning, I can do a fair bit more than "nothing" to get Quark out there in front of people's eyes.

I wish all the entrants the very best of luck.

tell us all another sob story, u fucking little cry baby

you are proof that complete morons have suddenly learned how to appear intelligent and articulate, and still make absolutely no sense whatsoever

i have never witnessed such a boohoo fest in my life until now

people have the right to tell u if your work looks like shit, live with it

why should people be considerate simply because you are a "real person" - you weren't very considerate when you assaulted our retinas with that sci-fi lookin klingon war symbol of a logo - and we are real, too - beam me up scotty, i fell into the lake of logo hell and damnation

if your brother in law works for a major network, what is he, the janitor LMFAO

that's like saying your cousin works for Paris Hilton, and you find out later the little twat is nothing more than the doorman at the Hilton Towers ROFLMAO

look buddy no one gives a flying fuck if you tried to do the right thing

you think just because you did something "noble" that we are all now required to lie and say your logo doesn't stink to high heaven?

you may win the contest but they aren't even going to use it for the official logo, so at least we won't have to look at it again after this

if you don't like people picking on you art "skills" then why don't you take ME on and see how far you get LOLOLOL

i'll tell you like it is, even if it makes your poor labia majora lips ache a little more, tootsie roll
